Beschrijving    English (Engels)

The old city of Dubrovnik, being an UNESCO world heritage since 1979, is well worth to have a closer look at. That's why I created this puzzle cache - and sincerely hope, that you're going to enjoy it.

Your task is to find the correct order of the 16 objects shown in the picture below (A-P) and assign each object to a number (1-16).

The number corresponds to the order in which you've passed the object - for instance: if object A on the picture is the 3rd that you have passed on your route designated in the map below, A would be 3, etc.

Of course it will be more fun to solve this riddle in a group - and obviously several eyes see more than just two. Kids usually love this kind of riddle.

The route is roughly one kilometer long, it shouldn't take you more than one hour (provided you're not too much distracted of shops and restaurants on your way icon_smile_wink.gif).

Start walking at the header coordinates (starting point) - close to the main entrance near PILE, where many public busses stop. Stroll along the Stradun (Placa Ulica) towards the old clock tower in front of you. Spend a little time on the square in front of the tower, too. Then turn to the left into Ulica Svetog Dominika, yet leave the Dominican Monastery to your right hand side, climb up a few steps, turn immediately to the left again, into Prijeko Ulica and follow it to its end. Having arrived there you should have found all the objects, half of them already before entering the Prijeko. The map below shows your route (it almost gets you back to where you started from - and where you might have to start all over again, should you not have looked closely enough icon_smile_wink.gif). In this case I propose, that you walk the route in the opposite direction this time.

A

At last it's time to do some calculation - to find out, where the cache is hidden and thus win your laurels:

N 42° 38.nnn E 18° 06.eee


nnn = (A*F) – (J*L) – (I*D) + (C*M) + 311

eee = (B*H) + (O*P) + (E*K) + (G*N) + 113




GeoCheck.org

Should you have no internet connection during your stay in Dubrovnik, you can still cross-check your final coords:

The sum of the figures in nnn is 8, in eee it's 12.




It would be lovely, if you upload a picture of yourself somewhere in the Old Town (but not at the final). THANK YOU!

By the way: Did you know, that Dubrovnik recently was the location for a Star Wars-Film (shown in the cinemas 2017)? In spring 2016 film-team-tents were strewn all over the old city and Security at each and every corner. The old town was even partly closed for the public.


I do hope that this mystery will only be logged from those, who have REALLY solved the riddle (do you know what we mean, when we talk about "cacher's honour"? nobody will praise you for cheating...) - for those, who are just hunting for a quick point: please be so kind and concentrate on traditionals. icon_smile.gif

Che dire, una delle migliori cache trovate. La parte mistery è molto divertente, ci ha costretto a girare e rigirare guardando ogni angolo di Dubrovnik, ora la conosciamo meglio. Il finale è all'altezza! Complimenti all'owner, copieremo lo stile per nascondere qualche cache!

What can I say, one of the best caches found. The mystery part is great fun, it forced us to go round and round looking at every corner of Dubrovnik, now we know it better. The ending is up to par! Congratulations to the owner, we will copy the style to hide some cache!

I really wanted to do this cache, but I knew my time would be limited. So I did some homework. But in the end the time was even shorter, and I did not enjoy the very busy street her. So I left this one open for another visit :-)

Not so easy, but with a little help friends we could solve the riddle and found it in the second try.

I flew to Dubrovnik with my favorite geocacher and wife Milonguera ❤️
Day 1: We visited the arboretum in Trsteno, bathed in the Adriatic Sea and explored Bosnia-Herzegovina and visited Mostar with the old bridge and a bunker. At sunset we had a Greet & Meet event in Bosnia-Herzegovina just near Dubrovnik.
Day 2: We explored the old city of Dubrovnik and had another event in the evening.

Zusammen mit meiner Lieblingsgeocacherin und Frau Milonguera ❤️ bin ich nach Dubrovnik geflogen.
Tag 1: Wir besuchten das Arboretum in Trsteno, badeten in der Adria und erkundeten Bosnien-Herzegowina und besuchten Mostar mit der alten Brücke und einen Bunker. Zum Sonnenuntergang hatten wir kurz vor Dubrovnik Greet & Meet Event in Bosnien-Herzegowina.
Tag 2: Wir stürzten uns ins Gewühl von Dubrovnik und erkundeten die Altstadt. Am Abend hatten wir auch hier ein schönes Event.

**Thanks for the cache! Ich bedanke mich bei bubbles für den Cache, das Zeigen dieses Ortes, das Legen und Pflegen der Dose und den Spaß beim Finden! Thanks for the cache!
Ich wünsche weiterhin viel Spaß bei der Suche nach den Dosen, nette Menschen beim nächsten Event und tolle Erlebnisse und Abenteuer beim Suchen und Finden!**

Thanks for showing the location and for hiding the cache. You should come to Berlin in Germany 🇩🇪 to find a lot of interesting geocaches, visit lost places in the surrounding Brandenburg and meet nice people at many events.
I wish you a lot of fun and great adventures while searching for the next geocache!

Ohne tolle Owner wie Euch wäre das Spiel nicht möglich. Ich freue mich, wenn Ihr auch meine Caches in Berlin-Britz besucht. Neben der Hufeisensiedlung, die zum Kulturwelterbe der Unesco gehört, gibt es viele alte Bunker zu entdecken und die Baustelle der Autobahn A100 ist auch immer wieder interessant. Von der neuen Minna-Todenhagen-Brücke zwischen Baumschulenweg und Oberschöneweide hat man einen schönen Blick auf die Spree und kann nebenbei ein paar Dosen finden.
An Neumond lade ich zum Sternegucken auf die Berliner Berggipfel oder an astronomische Orte ein. In der dunkelsten Nacht zwischen den Vollmonden genießen wir den Blick auf die blinkenden Sterne und die funkelnde Stadt Berlin.

Vielen Dank für den Cache!

My wife and I went several times back and forth and found 15 out of 16 details. But we did not find "B". Reading several log entries we found out that we were not the only ones having trouble finding this one. I tried to squeeze "B" into a big gap along main street but the checker turned red. So I gave up and our desperation grew limitless. The cache owner saved us by trelling us the position of "B". The checker went green and under the cover of darkness we easily found the container holding the logbook.

The day after we easily found the detail. I guess we did not see it becaue it was partly hidden by a blind.
